Anyone remember the Sega Channel? You know, big clunky thing you put in the cartridge slot of the Genesis and connected to the cable line, and got to play any number of a bajillion games? Yeah, it was sweet as all hell, and when I was 7 or 8 my best friend got it for the summer. So anyways, after hours and hours of me bitching at him to stop playing Shining Force and find something we can both play, he searched through Sega Channel's crappy interface until he happened upon the title "Gunstar Heroes." Even our little kid brains realized how nonsensical the title was. So of course we played it.
And it was awesome! I maintain to this day that Gunstar Heroes is the greatest two player experience around - throwing a huge oversized die to play a boardgame within the game landing on spaces that let you fight such enemies as "Melon Bread," shooting guys with homing fireballs you could control in the air, throwing each other at dudes til they blew up, a space shooter minigame in which one guy flies while the other mans the turret, and definitely some of the coolest slash most androgynous bosses this side of Japanese shooters who required pretty hardcore teamwork to take down. Hey, all of that with your best buddy? Who could ask for more?
